Located inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Folk Museum is Korea's leading institution that provides educational and cultural opportunities to better understand the traditional Korean lifestyle. Established in 1945, the museum mainly focuses on exclusive research on Korean folklore as well as acquisition, preservation and exhibition of artifacts related to Koreans' folk life.  It has modern displays that are divided into three large sections, and which uses models and varied film techniques to illustrate social life during the ages. This is probably the only national museum completely devoted to the history of traditional life.
